  Well there are many ways to get rid of it:

  1: You can use System Restore, If you need detailed instructions on how to do this please email me at ChaseMDuffin@aim.com

  2: If it is a program in your programs list you can un-install this. Generally it is not in your programs list if it is well designed

  3: I know another way but the instructions on how to do it would be to long to put here so if you want I can again, email them to you.

  If you do have any questions please email me. ChaseMDuffin@aim.com

  Just uninstall this program by going to control pane and clicking add remove programs. Now if you are not able to uninstall then google for AVG as its free and scan for viruses, it would surely delete viruses,trojans and worms from your pc & be sure to take care of the pop ups which comes and says that your pc is infected and download this and that and what else blah blah blah. So take care.

  1. Download and run firefox to protect your from future spyware attacks and pop ups which are coming in through internet explorer (Trojan downloaders, win32 ) .Then update your windows through firefox
  Browser attacks aren't easy to spot because they piggyback on legitimate traffic that doesn't exhibit many obvious warning signs
